Namaskar, my name is Mukul and welcome to the Asset Yogi
[15]
where we unlock the knowledge of real estate and finance
[20]
This is the 4th video of the commercial real estate investing
[23]
In the first 3 videos, I covered the basics of commercial real estate
[27]
In 2nd, I covered how you should invest in a shop or office space
[33]
In 3rd, we discussed the valuation and returns of commercial property
[38]
and in this video, we are going to discuss about the comparision
[41]
between commercial property and residential property
[44]
So stay tuned with this video till the end. As always
[49]
Let's switch to the blackboard
[51]
So let's compare residential and commercial properties on different parameters
[57]
The first parameter is rental returns
[59]
Rental returns will be higher in commercial investments
[63]
In residential, you get 2-4% of rental returns
[67]
That means annual returns of 2-4% of property value
[72]
In commercial, you get easy 6-12% returns
[75]
So if we understand this through an example, let's say you have Rs 1 Cr to invest
[80]
and you want to compare the returns in commercial vs residential
[86]
So if you invest in residential, if we take an average of 3%
[90]
you'll get Rs 3 lakhs per year from Rs 1 Cr
[94]
which means Rs 25,000 per month
[99]
But if you invest Rs 1 Cr in commercial
[102]
and if we calculate according to 6%, you'll get Rs 6 lakhs per annum
[108]
Rs 6 lakhs means Rs 50,000 per month
[112]
And if it goes 12%, it can go up to Rs 1 lakh per month
[118]
So this is the range in commercial and the rental returns are always better
[122]
But better returns means more risk
[127]
So let's compare the risk
[129]
In residential, the vacancy risk is always less
[132]
Vacancy risk means the property will not be vacant for a long time
[135]
Hardly 5-10% vacancy risk is there
[138]
because people always need place to live
[141]
That's why vacancy risk is always less in residential
[144]
But in commercial, vacancy risk is high
[147]
Let's say your property is on the outskirts or at an underdeveloped place
[152]
so that may be a dead investment for years
[155]
So that is a risk
[157]
Then there is an important point of maintenance and management
[162]
It is easier to manage residential
[165]
You just need to give it on rent to the tenant and he keeps paying the maintenance
[170]
so there is not much scope to manage
[172]
But there is a complexity in the commercial
[176]
Commercial properties always need a backup
[180]
and if the work of the corporates stopped for even a minute, it's a big loss
[185]
That's why retail or office space will demand high
[190]
their management should be up to date
[193]
So for this, expertise is required
[196]
Many times, you need to hire property management companies for the commercial properties
[200]
so its cost is also high
[202]
Thats why if you don't have knowledge of commercial properties,
[205]
then initially start with a small retail shop
[210]
a 200-300 sq. ft. office and you can start from there
[215]
Then there is a difference in the lease period
[217]
The lease period is always for a shorter time period in residential
[220]
Generally, an 11-month standard lease agreement is signed
[224]
But it can be more and people go maximum up to 3 years
[229]
But in commercial, leases are signed for 5-15 years
[233]
There is a 3+3+3 standard format, i.e for 9 years
[239]
And the other one is 5+5+5 = 15 years lease
[243]
So the landlord and tenant can renegotiate the rent every 3 years
[247]
the tenant can leave that place after 3 years and if the landlord wants, he can terminate the lease
[253]
So after every 3 years, it is renegotiated
[257]
So there is a scope of negotiation 2 times
[261]
Similarly, it is there in every 5 years in 5+5+5
[266]
After that, there is an important point of security deposit
[269]
In the case of residential, 2-4 months of rent is submitted as a security deposit
[274]
But because there is more risk in commercial that's why
[279]
minimum 1 year rent is submitted as a security deposit
[283]
Now let's see the investment amount comparision
[286]
In the case of residential, the amount is lower
[288]
and higher in case of the commercial
[291]
In some cases, the property value even increases 5 times
[295]
that means the rate...
[296]
If I take an example, let's say the rate of residential property in an area is Rs 5000 per sq. ft.
[304]
for buying it
[305]
Then the rate of commercial can be 10,000-15,000 per sq. ft. easily
[313]
and in some cases where the footfall is high
[316]
It can be even 5 times
[319]
That's why you need more financial capacity to invest in a commercial property
[324]
If you can buy a Rs 50 lakhs house in any area,
[328]
then the commercial property in that same area of that same size will be around Rs 1-1.5 Cr
[334]
That's why financial capacity should be more in this case
[338]
2nd is how many types of residentials are there
[342]
You can invest in apartments, villas which are also called independent houses
[347]
or you can invest in builder floor
[350]
There is another option of plot in this but I am not covering it in this video
[354]
I made a separate video on the plot
[357]
Here we are discussing about the build-up properties
[360]
That's why I didn't cover plot in this segment
[364]
Similarly, you can invest in retail space in commercial, in office space
[369]
or in hospitality like in hotels, banquet halls, party halls
[374]
you can invest in these also but generally
[378]
the individuals invest in retail or office store
[381]
and the one who is operating in the hospitality industry generally invest in it
[389]
But service apartments is something that individuals can also target
[394]
Service apartments are a new segment in the hospitality industry so the individuals target it
[401]
Let's see some more examples of the parameters
[404]
Tax benefits
[406]
Tax benefits are there in residential but not in commercial as an individual
[413]
Then the loan is easily available in case of residential
[416]
Generally, home loan is the lowest interest rate loan that you can get
[423]
In commercial, you may get a loan but only if the property is a rented out unit
[430]
otherwise, if it is an empty space, it is not easily available
[433]
and the interest rates are high in case of commercial
[438]
Then there is a risk of liquidity
[439]
In the case of residential, it is easy to sell the property
[443]
But in the case of commercial, selling property is a bit difficult task
[447]
So if you want to invest for short term
[451]
let's say for 2-3 years. Then residential is better for you
[457]
But in commercial, take a minimum horizon of 5-10 years
[462]
Otherwise, you'll not get returns properly and
[465]
It is difficult to sell it. Let's say you need an amount urgently
[470]
then you won't be able to sell it instantly
[472]
So there is a liquidity risk with the commercial properties
[476]
Then there is the economic impact
[477]
In residential, the economic impact is very less
[480]
At max, the rent will decrease but the property will get on rent
[485]
Because people always need a place to live
[489]
But in commercial, the impact is very much
[491]
If there is an economic slowdown and the markets went down,
[495]
there is no business with the companies
[498]
So along with the rent, there is a vacancy risk
[503]
Vacancies go high and rent decreases
[506]
So there is a direct link of the economy
[509]
and the impact is more in commercial
[512]
Then there are some key factors in residential and commercial
[515]
In residential, invest where the market, schools, hospitals are near
[523]
and the connectivity is good
[525]
So at such places, houses are rented out more
[529]
After that, the key factors in commercial are connectivity, distance from the airport
[536]
Metro is near or not, how wide are the roads and business districts
[541]
Means invest in the area which is either CBD (Central Business District) area
[547]
or at some places, there is Secondary Business Districts
[550]
Let's take an example of the CBD area of Gurgaon
[555]
So it is the cyber city
[558]
So if your office space is in cybercity or it's around, then renting is easy
[565]
or let's take the secondary business district of Sona road in Gurgaon
[570]
If you'll invest like these places, your property will be on rent quickly
[574]
Residential is good for mainly first-time buyers
[578]
If you're investing for the first time in real estate
[581]
then you should start with residential
[584]
It's always better that you'll get to know about all the risks and returns
[588]
and after that, you can go to commercial
[591]
Once you took the experience from residential
[594]
because the know-how and expertise required is high in commercial that's why
[599]
it would be better to enter in commercial as an experienced investor
[603]
And in that also, I would suggest starting with a small shop or office
[613]
Let's say of not more than 200-500 sq. ft.
[617]
So broadly, these are all the important points of differences between residential and commercial
[623]
